Non is essentially the one-man project of noisemonger and provocateur Boyd Rice, whose solo work is virtually interchangeable with that released under his Non alias. Rice's first work, originally titled The Black Album,
consisted of looped bits of girl-group and bubblegum songs worked into
a numbing drone; it was released in 1981 by Mute under the title Boyd
Rice. Subsequent Non releases like the antagonistic Physical Evidence
(1982) and the textured noise of Blood and Flame (1987) pushed the
limits of aural accessibility. A compilation of Non's '80s material,
some of it non-LP, was released in 1991 under the title Easy Listening
for Iron Youth. In the mid-'90s, Rice has revived Non often; 1992's In the Shadow of the Sword focused on social Darwinism, while 1995's Might! was an opus of musically backed poetry inspired by author Ragnar Redbeard's (likely J...

 Antietam - Music from Elba
This
easily gets a place in my top-15 records from the 80s, and I was
surprised to find out that, although Antietam are still active, their
early recordings have never been reissued, not even posted in the
music-blogland.
Antietam came from Louisville, KY, where Tara Key
and Tim Harris were in Babylon Dance Band and Wolf Knapp in Your Food.
In 1984 the three of themrelocated to New Jersey and formed Antietam
with Mike Weinert on drums. Their first (self-titled) LP came out in
1985 on Homestead records, as well as Music Form Elba in 1986. Today
they live in NYC. In some reviews they have been described as
"Hoboken-sound" (i.e. like the Feelies or Yo La Tengo), but to my ears,
their first two LPs always sounded equally east and west coast. There
is something in Tara Key's guitar playing... |

 Egghead
performed with many famous acts but remained infamous itself. This is
extremely hard, but we think they did a hell of a good job on this.
The
risk of gaining fame when you support acts like Cardiacs or Sick Of It
All or Green Lizard or Claw Boys Claw is lurking, but somehow they
managed to keep out of the spotlights.
We know no other band who did a better job in staying unknown to this big a crowd as Egghead did in the nineties.
The number of people NOT knowing of Eggheads existence at some point reached a magical 5 and a half billion.
And this number is still rising!... |

The 4 Levels Of Existence is a Greek band.I know many of you think Greece is only ouzo souvlaki and sun, but this beuatifull disc says the opposite.
Well, the band story begins somewhere in 1974 -'75 when Thanasis Alatas and Xrhstos Blaxakhs, both ex-members of a...

  Above the Ruins was Tony Wakeford's band after parting with Death in June and before forming Sol Invictus. Raw, dark driving rock, with little hint of the folk style to come.
Fans of Sol Invictus: Get This!!! A fine compliment to the Against The Modern World material, in fact "Make Us Strong" and "Under Western Skies" wouldn't have sounded so out of place on that first Sol LP. Musically, this sounds like a cross between early DIJ, Joy Division and early Sol Invictus. Lyrically, more "political" than Tony's later works---though I often sense that political ideas remain, subtly or inadvertently, in some of Tony's la... |

If you played in a band in the late '80s, then you know that your scene wasn't anything without a regional compilation album to document the breadth and eclecticism present in your town/county/state's musical population. While many of these records were immediately relegated to the dusty shelves of the "local" section of your favorite music emporium, there were those that deserved better. Badger A-Go-Go is a surprisingly strong record, with enough recognized and "unsigned" artists -- and beyond that, actual good songs -- to keep a college radio listener entertained. Who knew the diversity present in the state of Wisconsin: Paul Cebar the Milwaukeeans' laid-back, almost whimsical take on "Can't Sit Down," the Husker Du-influenced Liquid Pink, the guitar pop of Squares, and the more established individual sounds of EIEIO and Die Kreuzen. Fear n... |

 Since
1996, Quarkspace has pursued the sonic expression of space music with a
fervor that has made the band a fixture in the Columbus, Ohio, region.
Blending elements of space rock, ambient, psychedelic and electronics,
Quarkspace utilizes guitars, keyboards, drums, and effects to produce a
lively sound that explores the more fantastic reaches of the universe
with (mostly) instrumental space music.
Quarkspace
is Chet Santia, Jay Swanson, Dave Wexler, Paul Williams and Darren
Gough. These human beings achieve an interstellar flair with a
surprisingly minimal use of synt... |
